Ugh! I have not had a good start in exercising this week. On Sunday, my hubby saw a bobcat walk across our driveway (we live in a rural area). He got a picture of it. I was too freaked out to walk with him! Yesterday I had a 3 hour training after work...I just didn't have a chance to do anything. I was so tired today...I…

Hope you are feeling better, ruby. You just need to rest. I never lose weight when I get sick...my body revolts and holds onto everything. I hope you are able to eat and drink lots of fluids (no wine).:tongue: I am not sure if the scale will move this week. I am still trying to work on diet. I had a setback today...m and…

I had a great Pilates workout with a DVD yesterday. Today was such a busy day...we celebrated Dr. Seuss' Day...I came home and took a nap. I'll do better tomorrow!

I am trying to do some activity every other day. My goal for Curves is 3 times a week. I also walk on Saturdays with my hubby and try to do a Yoga or Pilates DVD on the weekend. I love both white and red wine. We have been having red wines the past few years. We love a great cabernet. I have cut back on the weekdays. I do…

I made it to my workout. I did the weight routine with the Jillian Michael's DVD. It takes you through a 30 minute routine. I burned 292 calories today! I am trying to get back into a routine. I have belonged to Curves for many years or should I say I have been paying for Curves for many years. I am hoping to get a workout…

I didn't get a workout today. I had a long day at work. When I got home my hubby had a pot roast in the crockpot for dinner. He asked if I wanted a glass of wine..I caved and had the wine! On the positive side, I did have a good diet day.:tongue: I have to do a weight workout tomorrow...Oop's rephrase "I can't wait to do…

Ruby...4lbs. is wonderful! My father in law used to say the same thing about the potatoes! It does give you a great visual. Thanks for all your motivation. I was down 19lbs. on MFP...I know I will get there again...I am working on "healing" my metabolism so my weight loss may be slow. I am trying to follow the Fast…

I guess I missed this thread somewhere along the line. I've been chatting with moparjer about our struggles. I am hoping we can get more support on our thread. I Need to hear about others. I get so much motivation from MFP. I too let my weight creep back up this past year. I tend to lose and gain the same two pounds. I am…

I lost .2 ounces! :happy: I am not upset about it. I am reading The Fast Metabolism by Haylie Pomroy. I am working on developing "a positive relationship" with food. This diet is supposed to rev up your metablolism after years of yo-yo dieting. It seems to make sense to me. I am still reading the book and trying to make…

Water challenge would be great! It is harder to drink water when it is cold outside.:drinker:

Thanks, ruby!:smile: My hubby and I walked in the rain today!!!!:smooched:

I recalculated my calories on MFP. My goal calories are at 1350...not sure if I can stick to that low of a calorie challenge. I managed to be at 1736 today! I was watching Dr. Oz today (DVR)...There was an interesting segment on The Fast Metabolism by Hailey Pomroy...think I will research it. Has anyone tried it?…

I hope everyone has a great ACTIVE weekend! My goal is to get my son's bedroom back into my workout room (my husband and I are empty-nesters)! I can't wait to do my Wii Zumba again!:wink:

I was very close to staying under my calorie goal today. I did have a great workout. Keep up the great job!:flowerforyou:

Welcome CaptainBoing! :flowerforyou: My new strategy is to eat a better lunch. I usually skimp on lunch then snack in the afternoon. Any great ideas for lunch (not salad)? :bigsmile:

Great job, cindycabrera! I am just starting to go back to Curves...I can't wait to try JM workout after your post! I'll be there tomorrow.:bigsmile:

I managed to walk 4 days and go to Curves one day...150 mins. I will keep trying to "up" my game.

sasbw, the chart looks great. I post on the other thread too (I just have a hard time letting go...I tried to stay with it but it got lonely):smile: I do know my weight shot back up once I stopped logging on regularly. I had a 1 lb. loss this week...considering Super Bowl Day was a day full of eating..I am happy with the…

hi sasbw! You have always helped motivate me. Thank you for all you do!

I would love to join this group. I have been a member for a few years...lots of ups and downs in the weight loss dept. I do know that MFP keeps me "in line" most of the time. I need to get motivated...I need to log on almost daily...to be accountable. Looking forward to "losing" with this group.:smile:

Level 1 Friday! Can't wait!

Time to get motivated!
